Can anyone actually say how thick this mattress pad really is? Answers have been all over the board.

I just measured mine and it is 1 inch thick. It is extremely soft and fluffy.

I was wondering the same thing. On other sites I see 2" thick with better reviews, and it looks to me - unless someone can correct me - that this Amazon listing is for a mattress PAD (as it says on the label if you zoom in) and elsewhere it's a 2" mattress, which I can't find on Amazon but found elsewhere on the internet. That's my best guess. Babyearth is the site I saw the 2"

Pretty thin. Think of it more as a mattress cover than a pad. I've got covers thicker than it.

The topper is about 1.5 inches thick. We have been sleeping on this (over a Dixie Foam mattress and topper) for almost a year, and we love it. At this point, I wouldn't go without one of these.

The separate piece of foam inside the cover is 1" to 1.25" thick, as-stated by several others. I will add that it's medium-density, at best, and thus compresses very quickly and doesn't provide that much support. Better than nothing? Yes. Could it be better with thicker or higher-density foam? Definitely!I have a garden kneeling pad that's approximately the same thickness, but much more dense and rubber-like. If I were to cut a piece out of that and put it inside the cover, I'm sure it would be much more comfortable!

No, it is actually quite thin. Much thinner than I expected it to be, but that does not take away from the quality. Remember it is a mattress protector, not a pad.

Hey Lauren, it is super comfortable and really thick. I am still surprised on how durable and thick it is since it came compressed in a bag. I would totally recommend this mattress. I purchased a full size one for my guest room as well and my sister bought a queen size one for herself.

It is about 2" thick and soft. Might help you giving you some cushion if your mattress is very firm. It is not helping me however. My mattress is begining to sag in the middle, so adding a soft layer on top is not the best idea I have ever had! Good luck!

This mattress pad is HUGE! Best quality we have ever had. Don't know if the pad will help you sleep cooler, but it is thicker and seems to be cooler. If you can get the pad separately, I would recommend it.

It is not a thick mattress pad. In my opinion it didn't affect the firmness of my mattress.

The included mattress might be an inch thick, no more. It appears to be a plastic pad, exactly like what I slept on for naptime in kindergarten, if that's helpful. I didn't use the included mattress and got the organic one instead. It's a bit thicker, 1.5", and made of organic wool, latex, and wood. It's more sturdy and cushy.

I would describe the mattress pad as "perfect." It isn't thick or thin; it has a quilted top and the sheets fit beautifully over it. We are the Grandparents so we don't use the crib constantly but when "our baby" comes over, his Mama swears he likes it better than his crib at home. So much so that we actually gave her and our son-in-law the extra pad that came in the pack and they love it, too. I initially looked at all the expensive eco-friendly sorts of mattress pads. Ultimately, I went with this one which turned out to be an excellent and economical choice. Our daughter is now expecting twins (oh my!) and I will buy them again.

I'm not sure how thick it is but,it truly does raise the mattress and give you better support!I absolutely love it!!

Mine is much thicker than that. Since it is inaccessible right now (it's in long-term storage), I can't give you an actual measurement, but I'd guess it is at least 4.5" thick. I find it firm and yet very comfortable.

IDK the thread count but the pad is waaay better than previous one we had on it. Little thicker and covers the entire bed better.

It's about an inch thick. Doesn't seem like much, but it has helped my back a lot due to my five-year mattress that has lost its shape. A definite improvement. I place it on the mattress, then cover it with a protective lining ( I have pets) prior to placing my sheets down.

Right now mine is packed away but I can tell you that both my husband and my son have slept on it and neither one felt anything and they both have back issues. I think the mattress is at least 5 to 6" thick.
